Am I today's winner?
No.
But I would be worried if my insurance advisor could not see the sum.....:eek:
1.88 O's for me...

Oh dear, my SSW looks like it may have won the race today with 1.94 O's

If my panels were all facing the same way then yes I'd agree, but as they're facing totally opposite directions there's no way anyone could get a fair comparison.....besides....if I did an overall total it'd be a 2 horse race EVERYDAY between myself and Mart for the wooden spoon!!Your results are void unless you submit an overall total!

I'm not scared of you T. I got a mighty 1.2 yesterday, sadly they weren't O's. So do I get the spoon (again) with 0.215 Os?
If you've got lemons, make lemonade - so I think I might diversify into the cutlery supply business!
